Is that too much to ask for?

When people magnify the environmental impacts of renewables, the implication is that they must somehow be worse than the existing energy system In reality the existing energy system is not just more destructive than renewables - it's more destructive than anyone even realises

Trying to erase history, will not change history.

More than any of his contemporaries, Colbert is more openly philosophical about the purpose of his humor, and that philosophy is what makes him so vital to the moment. https://bit.ly/4v5Fi3L

A deadly Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa is raising international alarm. Still, experts stress that the chance of a pandemic is low

Maybe you know you’re the most crime-committing president *ever* when you have to get your Supreme Court to give you immunity for committing crimes and then you have to get your IRS to give you immunity for committing fraud.

In this day and age, it's especially important to know what certain words actually mean...

As a surfer, I've noticed that the water off Nova Scotia has been cooler than normal the past couple years. This is why.

The Montana Plan is bipartisan, common-sense, and one of the best opportunities in a long time to put Citizens United where it belongs: in the ashbin of history.

What else can you do? As the old adage says, "In a democracy, a nation gets the government it deserves."

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

Outrageous! Donald Trump is openly paying off his criminal friends and supporters with YOUR MONEY! What the hell is happening in our country?!

Trump is bankrolling the next armed pro-Trump insurrection—and issuing reparations to the conspirators behind the last one—by stealing the money from the victims of the insurrection (using lawyers who are just fixers for a thug). Todd Blanche should be in prison, as should Trump.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

“The current state of the planet, where we are breaching multiple planetary boundaries, provides ample scientific evidence that climate change should be declared a public health emergency of international concern,” says Johan Rockström on the new #PECCH report. 👇 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny."

Why I live here.

This is infuriating. Instead of supporting renewable energy, the administration is forcing companies to invest in fossil fuels. Actions like this set back clean energy progress and hurt both the environment and the economy.

What does stress really do to our bodies – and when does it become a big problem?

Well said, Harrison.

Evidence of the growing #water crisis is everywhere, from the drying Colorado River to the failing Indus River treaty to the extreme impacts of climate change. But there are solutions to each of these problems. I talk about them in my book, The Three Ages of Water. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

ProPublica obtained 3,000 pages of emails sent last year by executives asking that their facilities be exempted from Clean Air Act requirements. The White House approved more than 180 requests and is considering more.

“Antarctic sea ice acts as Earth’s mirror, reflecting solar radiation back into space. Its loss could destabilise the currents that store heat and carbon in the ocean, accelerating global warming, and also destabilise ice shelves that prevent glaciers from sliding into the sea, raising sea levels.”

Humans need yo migrate too and already are. We need in immigration policy that recognizes both the reality of climate change and the danger of militarized borders and concentration camps. Or else today’s fascism will be just a taste of the future.

Abortion, LGBTQ, women’s equality, racial equality, etc., are issues used by authoritarian and/or theocratic-type governments to incite rage in order to distract the masses while they dismantle important Govnt’ institutions, which allows for more control. Then these crooks rob their treasuries.

New summer outlook just dropped. This is the multi-model C3S ensemble forecast for June-August. Hope you like pain and suffering.
